League won’t suspend Chiefs’ Tyreek Hill in case involving son

- By Dave Skretta

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) >> Tyreek Hill has been cleared to report to Chiefs training camp next week after the NFL said Friday it would not suspend the star wide receiver under its personal conduct policy after a domestic violence case involving his 3-year-old son.

The league spent eight hours interviewi­ng Hill late last month about the case, which came to light after a recording of Hill and his fiance, Crystal Espinal, aired on television station KCTV5.

During the conversati­on, Espinal accused Hill of hurting their son. Police launched an investigat­ion into potential child abuse, but the Johnson County, Kansas, district attorney announced he could not charge Hill because it was not clear how the boy had sustained his injuries.

“Based on the evidence presently available, the NFL cannot conclude that Mr. Hill violated the Personal Conduct Policy,” the NFL said in a statement. “He has been and will continue to be subject to conditions set forth by the District Court, Commission­er (Roger) Goodell, and the Chiefs, which include clinical evaluation and therapeuti­c interventi­on.”

The Chiefs report to training camp at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri, next week. Their first full-squad workout is scheduled for July 27.

“Based on the informatio­n provided to us by the league, we have decided it is appropriat­e for Tyreek to return to the team at the start of training camp,” the Chiefs said in a statement. “The club fully supports the conditions for return laid out by the league and will continue to monitor any new developmen­ts in the case. We are glad to welcome Tyreek back to the team.”
